[Model studies for determination of adhesion between prosthetic field and plate prosthesis]

The problem of retention of the complete plate prostheses is complex and determined by a series of factors. The authors follow up the effect of the components of the adhesives for complete prostheses on the alteration of adhesion between the plate prosthesis and mucosa, carrying out model studies. They studied the effect of silicon dioxide and nystatin on the adhesion between the plate prosthesis and mucosa making use of an adhesive based on high molecular neutral polyethylene oxide. A method has been developed for the determination of the effectiveness of adhesives for plate prostheses.
